PAP shooting
 

When is enough going to be enough? I'm sick of hearing Blue Watch say it's fine when it just isn't. That flight attendant was inches from getting their head blown off. It could just as easily been a one of us. I'm pretty sure these shootings have been coming from the same area, and we need to at the very least stop flying approaches/departures over that area. If the winds don't support that then we don't go. Either that or we get Kevlar floor liners, flack jackets and helmets.

ALPA grow some juevos here.

Avherald reported it.

We suspended service I thought I saw.

Yeah, they do this every time. They suspend service, then wait a month and start it back up again after things have "cooled down".

We can't compete anywhere else, so we need to milk the hell out of all these wonderful places. Jetforward baby!

Ah the joys of west coast flying... the worst place we go to is Oakland.

Thats about the same

100% This....
I was one of the guys campaigning for ban on Georgetown, Guyana overnights......obviously they couldn't make it a day trip (block) or even work down DH back (contract duty) but something like DH offline to like Aruba, Port of Espain, or Cartagena....I don't know something other than putting crews safety at risk. As pointed out this doesn't seem like the first time.......how as the PIC can we really say the flight can be conducted safely.

I don't agree with you generally, but.....

you guys would never make it doing ACMI cargo.

Cool nobody here cares about ACMI cargo.

Good thing we aren’t talking about ACMI cargo.

One of the questions at the Atlas interview is "Are you willing to work in a war zone?"......... JetBlue asks no such question.

I was scared of the dark and couldn't even hack it at boujee cargo. Then again Memphis scared me during the day, too. Had worse experiences there than I ever did doing a PAP turn.

In the 90's, planes were getting shot at going into LAX.

cuz the boyyzzzzz innnn the 'hooooood r alwayyyyyyz harrrrrrrd.........

You ain’t a real gangsta, until you’ve shot at a plane!

Better be gangsta' gangsta' at the top of your list.

I'll take some hazardous pay and a month of tax exempt please!
